Activities, besides the normal, during the month of April: The kids started doing yard work; Marshallese friends from Morganton come visit one evening; my mom visits for a few days to switch out kids’ clothes for warm weather; the big kids start a science project growing corn and beans; celebrated Ricky’s birthday at Dayspring; and, the kids participated in their first Field Day, put on by the local, homeschool PE group, and brought home a few ribbons ;)
School verses: Aolani and Micaiah — The kids finished memorizing the poem Paul Revere’s Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. (Watch them in the post below.)
Activities, besides the normal, during the month of March: We had a family over for dinner and games; finished a science experiment growing radishes (Aolani especially loves growing experiments!); a friend took Ricky for a short helicopter ride using a JAARS helicopter to see our neighborhood from above (the kids enjoyed seeing him); we hosted a small dinner party introducing our Cameroonian friends and family friends leaving to serve with Wycliffe in Cameroon; my mom visits for a few days; head to Kentucky to attend the wedding of a friend we originally met on a mission trip to Hungary almost 15 years ago when she was a tween; got to spend extra time there to visit with treasured friends and partners in our Wycliffe ministry (so wonderful!)
